Be A People Artist #beapeopleartist

September 24, 2018 by David Zinger 2 Comments

I need you to be a People Artist. I need you to draw out the best in others at work. I know if you do it will make a difference for the person who receives the expression and it will make a difference to you, too.

Yesterday I expressed and appreciation of a colleague from Singapore on LinkedIn. I wanted to let him know how much I appreciated him in a public way. I had no idea how public it would become.

I looked at the post today and saw that it had 12,810 views. It made my day.

Whose day are you going to make? Be a People Artist #beapeopleartist.

If you don’t know how to proceed I will send you a free e-copy of my last book co-authored with Peter Hart, People Artist, Drawing Out the Best In Others at Work

Career Zingers #26: What’s Your Currency?

April 25, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Money often costs too much. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is Only Paper (David Zinger, 2018)

What’s your currency at work? Currency is a medium of exchange. We narrowly think of currency as being money. I am not saying money is unimportant, just that it is not as important as we think. Countless studies have demonstrated that on the list of important motivators and contributors to employee engagement money is lower on the list.

Pause right now, consider what do you truly exchange your time, effort, and self for at work?

Over the years, I have learned my personal currencies for work are:

  • curiosity,
  • connection,
  • creativity,
  • playfulness,
  • stories,
  • learning,
  • expression, and
  • contribution.

When work offers me these currencies I am engaged and motivated. I have said numerous times, “I can’t believe I get paid to do this work.” I forget I am getting paid in the currencies listed above. When you exchange your work for the right currencies, work will make you well.

Career Zingers #21: Don’t Let Mindlessness Sock it to You

April 14, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Pause before your foot hits the floor.

Don’t let your cluttered mind drive you off in all directions. Before you leap out of your chair and embark on the next action in your life – – pause – – be intentional. Ask yourself: Where am I going? Why am I going there?

Once you have a satisfactory answer to those two questions proceed because if the shoe fits, wear it. Otherwise, take a few more moments and infuse more intention into your everyday actions.

Career Zingers #18: A Hopeful View of Hopelessness

March 19, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Hope is in the future, experience resides in where we are right now.

Hilton Head Beach (David Zinger, 2018)

I encourage you to be hopeless. I am not talking about depression, anxiety, or dread about the future. You don’t have to abandon hope but I do encourage you to give more attention and awareness to where you are right now. Hope can pull us through tough times but it can also distract us from what we need to do right now. If you want a bountiful garden make sure you plant the seeds, water the plants, and pull the weeds. I hope this advice was helpful without me relying simply on hope that you would get the message.
